Torres wants to stay at Anfield for Life
ONE talented Spaniard may be heading for the Anfield exit door but Liverpool’s most valuable import insists he has never been happier.
Fernando Torres will return to his homeland for tomorrow’s friendly against Espanyol looking to build up his match sharpness ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
The prolific frontman only returned from his extended summer break on the eve of the Reds’ Far East tour but he looked like he had never been away.
He produced a dazzling 10-minute cameo against Thailand before opening his account during a half-hour burst in the 5-0 win over Singapore.
After being hampered by hamstring problems last season, Torres is on a mission to make up for lost time.
“I want to forget all my injury problems from last season and I want to play in every single game this season – be it the league, the Champions League, the FA Cup or the League Cup,” he said.
“Based on the quality of this squad, we can go very far and win many trophies.
“All I want is to score more goals to help the team win more trophies.”
Much has been made about Liverpool’s lack of firepower with Andriy Voronin, David Ngog and rookie Krisztian Nemeth the only possible alternatives.
Robbie Keane hasn’t been replaced since he returned to Spurs in January but Torres insists he is happy leading the line on his own.
“Playing up front alone has its challenges but I’m used to it since my days at Atletico Madrid,” he said.
“I don’t mind playing alone or with another striker. I don’t really think about it. As a striker, you are playing for the team and what is more important is that you score goals and help your team win the game in the end.
“I don’t think we need to sign any other players. We have already bought good players such as Glen Johnson whom I believe is a good signing for Liverpool.
“We don’t need to buy new players to prove that we are capable of winning.”
Torres admits he is relishing the prospect of renewing his partnership with Steven Gerrard following the skipper’s return to the Reds squad after his court appearance.
“Gerrard is the best player in the world and is a special friend to me,” Torres said.
“We have this special understanding between us on the field. He can read my mind and I can read his.
“He is always looking out for me on the field. Once I make a move, he will try and pass the ball to me. So far our partnership has worked very well.”
Xabi Alonso may have decided he wants to cut short his stay on Merseyside and move to Real Madrid but Torres insists he won’t be lured away.
The striker, who is under contract until 2013, is desperate to win silverware and believes he will achieve his dreams at Anfield.
“I have never thought about leaving the club,” he added.
“My team in Spain is Atletico Madrid and my team in England is Liverpool.
“I don’t think I’ll play for another English club, and definitely not Manchester United.
“I’m a Liverpool player and I just want to do my best for the club.
“I strongly believe we will win at least the league title within the next two years.”
